Hi. I'm writing a Sailor Moon fanfic but I don' know if I should use english or japanese names. On one hand, the japanese name are better to use because it's true to the origanal. On the other, the english name are more familiar for dubbies. What should I do? Also, I have a charater in the fanfic that is helping Sailor Pluto fix the mess Galaxia made. Yet I cannot think of a name for him, even though he has a crush on Hotaru, any idea's? A pre-emptive thanks for all who responed.

Well, personally I write using Usagi and Mamoru. I didn't used to do that... but as I watch the original more and more, the names just fit. *laughs* I HATED the names when I first heard them. Anyways, I would use whatever sounds and feels best to you. Yes, you are writing for other people to read, but you're writing for yourself first. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter what others think of it... to some extent. Just do what feels the most correct to you... and if dubbies don't like it, then... it's their loss! Happy writing!

Serenity makes a wonderful point. Its for you. And as for a name for you character with Pluto, what I do is come up with what I want the first letter to be, then I go searching for the perfect name with that letter. Usually I do this because I'm role-playing with friends and we get too many characters whose names begin with the same letter. It helps me a lot though, but do what feels right for you. That was just some advice from me. Enjoy writing your story, it sounds really good...

amifan , my suggestion is to go with what feels right and true to the story. Sometimes when I write, I'll either use the dub names or the japanese, depending on who I'm trying to reach with the story. You know what feels right with your writing, cause I'm sure like me it comes from the heart. Do your best and you can never go wrong, no matter what anyone says.

Thanks for the advise, NeptueAngel and MartyP.
I must confess, I haven't worked on it in a while. I am trying to improve my drawing skills. I probobly should finish it.
Should I include commercial breaks?
